Description
CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional
Application No. 63/107814, filed Oct. 30, 2020, and French
Application No. 2012608, filed Dec. 3, 2020, the disclosures of
which are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their
entirety.
SUMMARY
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a clear bottle with one or
more transparent ultraviolet (UV) coating layers containing a UV
nail gel or polish composition having a photoinitiator
contemporaneously operable to prevent the UV nail gel formula from
curing, gelling, while providing visibility of the UV nail
polish.
[0003] Typical UV gel nail polish formulations include methacrylate
monomers and a photoinitiator, such as benzoyl peroxide. Upon
exposure to UV light, the nail polish cures, polymerizing and
solidifying. Curing wavelengths typically range between 340 to 380
nanometers (nm). However, when exposed to light over time, the nail
polish cures, gelling and developing clumps in its storage vessel
or bottle.
[0004] Accordingly, UV nail polish gels cannot typically be stored
in clear or transparent bottles, and thus a color indicator or
description must be used in order to notify the consumer of the
color. In order to mitigate or prevent curing of the UV nail polish
composition when in the bottle, conventional bottles must be tinted
or opaque to block UV light. There is a need in the art for a
system providing a clear or transparent bottle containing UV gel
nail polish formulations so that the color, tint and pigment
complexion of the nail polish is readily visible to a user.
[0005] The subject disclosure provides a two-part system. The first
part of the system comprises a transparent UV Blocking treatment
layers or coated onto a clear flint glass, or clear polymeric,
bottle that is able to block UV wavelength from 100 nm-380 nm to
prevent the formula from easily be gelled by natural light. The
second part of the system comprises a UV nail polish or gel formula
that comprises a lower wavelength curing photoinitiator, preferably
less than 330 nm, to ensures the compatibility of the nail polish
gel formula with the clear UV blocker coated transparent bottle.
Combining of the modified UV curable formulation results in
stability within the clear UV protective coated glass bottle as
compared to conventional coatings.
[0006] In an embodiment, a UV nail gel and clear bottle system for
protecting the UV nail gel formulation from curing or gelling while
providing visibility of the UV nail gel formula is provided. The
system includes one or more layers of a transparent UV blocking
treatment located on an exterior surface of the clear bottle
comprising one or more UV absorbers having an intramolecular
hydrogen bond and absorption wavelengths ranging from 100 nm to 380
nm, paired with a UV nail gel formula comprising a lower wavelength
curing photoinitiator having an absorption wavelength.ltoreq.330
nm. The one or more layers of the transparent UV blocking treatment
and UV nail gel formula with the lower wavelength curing
photoinitiator protects the UV nail gel formulation from curing or
gelling while providing visibility of the UV nail gel formula.
[0007] In an embodiment, the UV absorbers is selected from
o-hydroxybenzophenones, 2-(2-hydroxyaryl)-benzotriazoles and
2-(2-hydroxyaryl)-1,3,5-triazines.
[0008] In an embodiment, the photoinitiator is 1-Hydroxycyclohexyl
phenyl ketone.
[0009] The UV blocking treatment preferably comprises at least two
layers on the exterior surface of the clear bottle. More
preferably, the UV blocking nail polish and clear bottle system of
claim 1, wherein the UV blocking treatment comprises at least three
layers on the exterior surface of the clear bottle.
[0010] In an embodiment, the one or more layers of UV blocking
treatment on the exterior surface of the clear bottle has a
thickness ranging between 0.1 um to 200 um.
[0011] In yet another embodiment, the clear bottle is a glass
bottle. In another embodiment, the clear bottle is a polymeric
bottle.
[0012] Another embodiment provides that the one or more layers of a
transparent UV blocking treatment located on an exterior surface of
the clear bottle is applied by spraying.
[0013] The one or more layers of a transparent UV blocking
treatment located on an exterior surface of the clear bottle may be
applied by film wrap.
[0014] In an embodiment, the one or more layers of a transparent UV
blocking treatment substantially covers the substantially the
entire exterior surface of the clear bottle.
[0015] Yet another embodiment provides that the one or more layers
of a transparent UV blocking treatment substantially covers a
bottom portion, body and at least part of a neck portion of the
clear bottle. The bottom portion and body representing the main
cavity containing the UV nail gel.
[0016] A method of making a UV blocking nail polish and clear
bottle system is also provided. The method comprises the steps of,
in any order, applying one or more layers of a transparent UV
blocking treatment to an exterior surface of the clear bottle
comprising one or more UV absorbers having an intramolecular
hydrogen bond and absorption wavelengths ranging from 100 nm-380
nm; inserting within the clear bottle a UV gel nail polish formula
comprising a lower wavelength curing photoinitiator having an
absorption wavelength less than 330 nm. Wherein the one or more
layers of the transparent UV blocking treatment and UV nail gel
formula with the lower wavelength curing photoinitiator protects
the UV nail gel formulation from curing or gelling while providing
visibility of the UV nail gel formula.
[0017] This summary is provided to introduce a selection of
concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in
the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify
key features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to
be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject
matter.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0018] The foregoing aspects and advantages of the inventive
technology will become more readily appreciated as the same become
better understood by reference to the following detailed
description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying
drawings, wherein:
[0019] FIG. 1 is a graph showing wavelength and light transmittance
for bottle samples;
[0020] FIG. 2a is a photograph showing comparative non-inventive
Samples A-0 and A-1 after 24 hours of sun test or light
exposure;
[0021] FIG. 2b is a photograph showing comparison of non-inventive
Sample B-0, and Inventive Samples B-1 to B-3 after 24 hours of
light exposure;
[0022] FIG. 2c is a photograph of the Samples of FIG. 2b after 48
hours of light exposure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] Conventional UV nail polish bottles are tinted to prevent
the UV Nail polish formula from gelling (cures at 340 nm-380 nm)
since they can easily cured by light over time. Accordingly,
typical UV sensitive formula are stored in a tinted bottle, so the
nail composition color is not visible to consumers.
[0024] The subject bottle with UV coating for nail polish
compositions, systems and methods of use provides a clear
(see-through) processing treatment on the outside or exterior of a
clear bottle. The clear bottles are treated with clear UV blocker
formulation able to block UV wavelength from 100 nm-380 nm.
Treatment of the bottles is carried out through spray clear coat,
rub, vacuum chamber application, shrink wrap, or other processes or
combinations thereof to achieve at least one coating or layer
having a thickness to add protection of the formula from UV
degradation. In combination, the UV nail gel formula is modified to
have a curing wavelength of less than 330 nm to ensure the formula
is well protected by the clear coat.
[0025] Owing to the pairing of the UV blocking coating with the low
wavelength UV curing nail formulation to protect the highly UV
sensitive cosmetic formulation while being able to see the color of
the formula. As a result, consumers are able to perceive the
formulation physical properties, such as color, texture, visual
effects, etc., through the clear transparent film, and the UV
sensitive formula would still be protected from gelling and/or
degradation due to UV light exposure. Preferably, the UV blocking
clear transparent film or coating comprises at least one coating,
and preferably covers 360 degrees around the bottle. Most
preferably the UV clear transparent film covers substantially the
entire exterior surface area of the bottle.
[0026] FIG. 1 is a graph showing wavelength and light transmittance
for bottle samples. Inventive Sample is a UV coated bottle
according to an embodiment. Sample X is a clear, non-UV coated
bottle. Sample Y is an amber bottle. Sample Z is a white opaque
bottle. Inventive Sample indicates blocking or low transmittance
below about 380 nm as compared to Sample X, no UV coating, clear
bottle. Sample Y, amber bottle, indicates low transmittance below
about 480 nm. Sample Z, the white opaque bottle, resulted in low
transmittance across the wavelength spectrum. However, use of white
opaque bottle of Sample Z is disadvantageous because there is no
visibility of the UV nail polish/gel or treatment. Sample Y, amber
bottle, also does not provide visibility of the UV nail polish/gel,
but shows a distorted color/indicators of the gel. Comparatively,
Inventive Sample indicates increased transmittance % at greater
wavelengths, above about 410 nm, demonstrating visibility for
viewing the UV nail gel formula in the bottle.
[0027] Conventional UV nail polish formula gel or cure at about 340
nm-380 nm. Sample X, 0 coating clear absorbs wavelengths>/=300
nm, generally. Inventive Sample, UV coated clear bottle,
transmittance begins at wavelengths of about 380 nm. Inventive
Sample is capable of blocking UV wavelength from 100 nm to 380 nm
to prevent the UV nail formula from gelling by natural light.
Operating contemporaneously with the subject UV gel formula
modified with a lower curing photoinitiator, less than 330 nm,
ensures the compatibility of formula with the clear UV blocker
coating on the transparent bottle. Combining the UV curable
formulation shows the best stability with a clear glass coated with
UV protective coating.
[0028] FIG. 2a is a photograph showing comparative non-inventive
Samples A-0 and A-1 after 24 hours of sun test or light exposure.
FIG. 2b is a photograph showing comparison of non-inventive Sample
B-0, and Inventive Samples B-1 to B-3 after 24 hours of light
exposure. FIG. 2c is a photograph of the Samples of FIG. 2b after
48 hours of light exposure. Sun test methodology: exposing the
samples in a UV light box that is ON constantly.
[0029] Referring to FIGS. 2a and 2b, all samples utilized clear
glass bottle. Sample A-0, no coating, formula with UV curing range
340 nm-380 nm. Sample A-1, 1-layer coating, formula with UV curing
range 340 nm-380 nm. Sample BO represents example with no, or zero
(0), UV coating on exterior of bottle, and UV nail formula having
UV curing range<330 nm. Inventive Samples B1-B3 represent
examples with one (1) layer, UV coating on exterior of bottle--up
to 3 coatings or layers, and UV nail formula having UV curing
range<330 nm. UV absorbers preferably utilized in the UV coating
of the exterior surface of the bottle comprise a UV blocker having
one or more intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Preferably, the UV
blocker is selected from o-hydroxybenzophenones,
2-(2-hydroxyaryl)-benzotriazoles,
2-(2-hydroxyaryl)-1,3,5-triazines), and combinations thereof.
[0030] After 24-hour sun test, both Sample A-0 and A-1 had cured,
gelled or solidified completely. Even with the one layer of UV
coating on the bottle for Sample A-1, after 24 hour sun test, the
UV nail formula solidified. After 48 hours, formula of Sample B3
had the most optimal flow, 100% flow with no curing. Accordingly,
3-layer application of the UV blocking coating in combination with
the claimed UV gel formulation with photoinitiator demonstrated the
most optimal performance over time.

[0031] Sun test was carried out, wherein the samples were exposed
to sun light and examined for curing state, specifically at 1 hour
and 24 hours. Examples above illustrate 1) Sample A with no UV
coating and UV nail gel with photoinhibitor at 340 nm-380 nm
resulted in cloudy, gelling at 1 hour, and very cloudy, increased
gelling at 24 hours. Sample B0 with 0 coating and UV nail gel with
.ltoreq.330 nm performed better than Sample A UV nail gel with 340
nm-380 nm, however, comparatively Samples B 1-B3 with combination
UV coating plus UV nail gel with .ltoreq.330 nm all performed
better than Sample A and Sample B at 1 hour and 24 hours.
Furthermore, of Samples B1-B2, it was found that 3 coatings most
preferred, resulting in clear visibility at 1 hour and 24
hours.
EXAMPLE(S)
[0032] Clear glass bottle treated with any UV protective coating.
Clear bottles treated with a clear or transparent UV blocker by
spray clear coat application. Application of the clear UV blocker
can be applied by spray, rub, vacuum chamber, shrink wrap, etc.,
onto the exterior of the bottle to act in concert with the UV nail
gel with photoinhibitor at .ltoreq.330 nm for compounded protection
of the formula from UV degradation. As set forth above, at least
one layer is applied to the exterior surface of the bottle,
preferably at least two layers, and most preferably at least three
layers are applied to the exterior surface. It is noted that, while
"layers" is referred to, thickness of the layer(s) can be modified
so that a single layer may have the thickness of two or more
layers. Preferably, coating on the bottle has a thickness ranging
from 0.1 um to 200 um, including all layers/the thickness sum of
the layers.
